I think it is also possible to have two choices. One choice is based on reasoned rational thought and the other choice is based on emotion and want.

Although I current lean towards the "Eaten by Worms" theory, I once leaned towards an afterlife and reincarnation. The countless stories of people who died and were revived, and then told very similar stories about what happened to them while they were dead, were very influential to me. You can't simply say that all those stories were fabrications can you? It would be interesting to know why these stories are so similar. Perhaps it's the way the brain is wired (by evolution perhaps) to operate as the body dies.

Robert...part of my life may have been "the eaten by worms" thought..until I took a leap into the unknown. We are frully potentialized with the capabilities to die while in life so as to heal our blindness and be more fully present in and with life. It is not much thought about but the sense for self-preservation must have something on the other polarity which of course would be the sense for extinction from the physical but on a higher level would be the urges to achieve transmutation and transformation of the psyche...

Pictures go and come as hosting site exceeds its bandwidth or not, so better commit to memory.

Graybeard called the local animal warden to deal with infestation of his apartment—or maybe he was studying evolution.

My memory has its own limitations. Perhaps like the bandwidth you mentioned.

True, Dip, I can only remember about 7 things at once, so I can't even spell out your whole name.

Graham, what's new in BC?

Somebody once said that beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone.

Guess it's a slow day on ToeQuest.

My name is an Enigma to the international panel of people. However I believe that memory is more that skin deep, in fact it can be tutored to accept of requirements.
